“Yeah. Do you have a problem with it?”
Bertha didn’t like Marcus’s tone.
Marcus chuckled coldly.
Bertha looked into his eyes. It seemed that he thought she lied about leaving and wanted him to stop her.
She got mad.
“Don’t be so arrogant! I’m leaving! I won’t appear in front of you again!”
She finished speaking and stormed off.
After leaving the hospital, Bertha scolded Marcus badly in her mind.
Then, she immediately made a call to Beverly Hills to ask about the divorce.
She was told to wait a moment. They said they needed to call Marcus first.
Bertha politely said, “Thanks.
T’ll go to the courthouse first and wait for him there.”
There was no need to sign any divorce agreement. She could directly get the divorce decree.
Hanging up the phone, Bertha hailed a taxi and headed to the courthouse.
As soon as she arrived, she happily went to the divorce processing office.
She was in such a great mood. The staff doubted if she had come to the wrong place.
After all, who would be happy when getting divorced?
The couples around Bertha all looked angry, while Bertha seemed rather pleased.
She didn’t care about the strange looks from others. She stood in line, dreaming of a bright future.
After getting divorced, she could register the kids and settle down in a small city with good weather all year round.
She would work hard, the kids would go to school, and they could live a normal life.
They would live together so happily.
Thinking about the wonderful life after divorce, Bertha couldn’t help but grin.
However, reality was cruel.
Marcus stood her up!
Bertha never expected that the prestigious Marcus would break his promise.
He didn’t want to get divorced.
And Bertha was told that after lining up for two hours.
She was so angry that she wanted to kill Marcus!

He broke his promise. How unfaithful!
Bertha actually respected Marcus a lot. Back then, even when he accused her of cheating, she didn’t blame him.
But today, she cursed him in her mind.
He agreed to get divorced and didn’t show up. It was unacceptable.
Bertha angrily walked out of the courthouse.
She came happily and left in a rage.
She stopped a taxi and spoke in a huff.
“Sir, are we closer to the Gonzalez’s manor or the Gonzalez Group?”
The driver glanced at her before looking at the map.“The Gonzalez’s manor.”
“Then take me there!”
Bertha only knew these two places where she might find Marcus.

She went straight to the Gonzalez’s manor, wanting to ask Marcus why he wouldn’t divorce her since he didn’t
love her.
However, just as she was about to reach the manor, she changed her mind.
Back then, she and Marcus had a secret marriage. The Gonzalez family hadn’t seen her. If she suddenly showed up, would she break the agreement of keeping the marriage secret?
Would Marcus use it as an excuse to refuse to divorce her?
After thinking it over, Bertha let the driver turn around and leave.
She took a taxi back home. When paying, she pouted.
These days, Bertha spent over a hundred dollars just on taxi fare.
Yet, she still didn’t get divorced, which made her upset.
However, soon, her bad mood was gone when she heard the laughter from inside.
Adalee asked, “Quick, answer me. Am I pretty?”
The three kids said in unison, “Yeah!”
“Am I lovely?”
“Yeah!”
“Am I a fairy?”
“Yes, you’re a fairy!”
Adalee laughed so loud.
Bertha couldn’t help but chuckle.
Today, when she found out that Bertha had given birth to children and raised them alone for five years, Adalee

cried for a long time.

She was single, but she knew raising children was hard, and being a single mom was even harder. Adalee felt sorry for Bertha.
And she liked the kids.
So, when Bertha got a call from Brook and went to meet him, Adalee came to look after the children.
Bertha opened the door and went into the room.
As soon as the kids saw her, they jumped up from the floor and ran towards her excitedly.
Mommy!”
Mommy!”
